  • Therapy Practice with Boundaries: The daily structure she created when her son was a baby—and how she’s stuck with it ever since
  • Writing & Creativity: What it looked like to write two books (while parenting), and how she’s approaching the possibility of a third
  • Career Fit: How Jessica found her calling in therapy and why it remains a perfect match
  • Supporting Kids’ Passions: The way her children have found their own interests—and how she’s supported those discoveries
  • Smart Summer Planning: How Jessica is using AI tools to plan meaningful summers with her son, with an eye toward the college application journey
